Background

Aveis Lavon Brown appealed in a case originating in the Circuit Court for Duval County, where Circuit Judge Tatiana Radi Salvador presided. The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying charges, procedural history, issues raised, or relief Brown sought.

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal considered the matter under case number 5D2025-1503. Brown was represented by Mark Howard Klein, and the State was represented by Attorney General James Uthmeier and Assistant Attorney General Ryan Edward Roy.

The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District issued a per curiam decision stating only: “AFFIRMED.” The opinion provides no reasoning and does not identify the particular ruling or order being affirmed.

Chief Judge Jay and Judges Lambert and MacIver concurred. The decision was designated not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the matter presented on appeal.
  • The per curiam opinion gives no explanation for the court’s decision.
  • The abbreviated opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate arguments, or specific ruling under review.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Brown’s appeal at the Fifth District without a written discussion of the legal or factual issues. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no articulated rule or analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
